- Description
The community disintegrates. At the same time, it is constantly reassembling itself and taking on unexpected consistencies. But what is a community? And how does it differ from a group, an ensemble, the collective? The seminar examines current potentials for communal action and the aesthetics and politics that emanate from them. Theatrical practice, which probably has more to say about the question of the common, the group and the incessant movement of 'dividuation' than anyone else, will be the key witness. Based on canonical texts from the French philosophy of difference (Nancy, Blanchot, Guattari), the perspective will be opened up to feminist, queer and postcolonial theories of community.
